Lin Jin didn't ask about anything else. At first, he thought the injured person should be sent to the clinic. But when he peeled off the fox's blood-stained fur and saw the connection between the man and the beast, he finally understood why they were sent to the Beast Appraisal Association.
Just as the man had said, the fox's flesh had fused with the young man's chest.
It was wrapped in a mass of flesh and there were obvious cut marks on it. The doctor must have tried to cut it off but only made a small cut. Blood gushed out and the doctor stopped in fear of danger.
The moment Lin Jin touched the fox, there was a commotion in the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
Lin Jin's pupils dilated.
"I need to do my diagnosis and I can't be disturbed. The rest of you, leave us."
Lin Jin got up and waved.
The apprentice beast appraisers quickly bowed and left. The kind-hearted villagers were about to leave as well when Lin Jin asked, "Right, does anyone know this person?"
The villagers shook their heads, saying they didn't know him.
Having said that, they left.
Jia Qian hesitated for a moment before bowing and leaving as well. She was no longer as glamorous as before and was clearly much more low-key now.
Zhao Ying, Lu Xiaoyun, and Han Dong went up to help but Lin Jin waved them off. "You guys leave too. Wait outside."
The trio was stunned.
However, Lin Jin's expression was stern. There was no room for negotiation. The trio knew Lin Jin well. If it wasn't something serious, he wouldn't let them leave.
After everyone left, Lin Jin instinctively called out to Xiao Huo.
But there was no response.
Only then did Lin Jin remember that he had left Xiao Huo at home today.
"This is bad!"
Lin Jin panicked.
He wanted to call the others in but gave up on that idea after some thought. It would be useless even if he called them in. If something really happened, they wouldn't even have the strength to fight back. They would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
Lin Jin lowered his head to look at the scarred and seemingly dead fox. He grabbed a few silver needles in his hand, ready for battle.
Taking a closer look, Lin Jin realized that the fox's tightly shut eyes had opened and it was staring straight at him.
The fox was scarred but its eyes were strangely calm.
This was the second monster Lin Jin saw.
When Lin Jin touched the fox earlier, he already knew.
Moreover, this was not an ordinary demonic beast. At the very least, it was more powerful than the Black Serpent he had seen last time.
Although he looked like he was about to die, 'beasts' shouldn't be judged by their appearance. Hence, Lin Jin sent everyone away without batting an eyelid. Of course, if Lin Jin had remembered that Xiao Huo wasn't around, he might have run away too.
"Third-rank demonic beast, fox demon. Demonic beasts cannot form a blood pact. Extremely intelligent. Heavily injured, able to share blood vessels. Proficient in the art of entering dreams."
"There are four methods of treatment, which are …"
"There are six types of advancement methods, which are …"
"Current number of recorded beasts: 2 (4)."
The first time he saw a Demonic Beast was the black snake from before. At that time, it was evenly matched with Xiao Huo, but that was only a Rank 2 Demonic Beast.
The one in front of him was at the third level.
Lin Jin thought that since Xiao Huo had cultivated Part Two of the Beast Energy Formation, he should be able to fight it head-on. However, Xiao Huo wasn't around and Goldy wasn't here either. It would be dangerous for Lin Jin to rely on himself. Although the coiled wire needle wasn't weak, it was best not to get into a fight.
What Lin Jin couldn't figure out was why those kind-hearted people thought it was a beast that was hurting people so they beat up this fox demon. They beat it pretty hard too. Had it been a regular beast, they would have died eight times over. But even so, this fox demon didn't hurt anyone. Then, the doctor from the clinic cut it with a knife and the fox demon didn't retaliate either.
This piqued Lin Jin's curiosity.
Holding the needle in his hand, Lin Jin noticed that the monster's condition was' heavily injured 'and' symbiotic bloodline '.
In the Museum of Deadly Beasts, as long as the condition was stabilized, one could investigate further. Lin Jin checked the symbiotic bloodline and only then did he understand what was going on.
Symbiotic bloodline. Demonic beasts could share the same bloodline with humans. If the human died, the demon would perish. If the demon died, the human would perish.
This didn't seem like it was trying to harm anyone.
Lin Jin flicked his finger and performed the coiled wire needle. The needle pierced into the young man's body and circled around his veins. Lin Jin gasped.
This young man looked like he was going to die.
His heart had been destroyed and if Lin Jin's guess was right, he must have been stabbed by a sharp weapon. But he didn't die because this fox demon used symbiotic bloodline to save his life.
Lin Jin was even more confused.
Why would this fox demon save him?
Perhaps it could tell that Lin Jin was a capable man, the fox demon's eyes were filled with emotion. When Lin Jin met its gaze, he felt like the fox demon was begging him to save him.
As the saying went, a human life was at stake. Since Lin Jin's pulse-seeking technique could heal pet beasts, it wouldn't be a problem for him to mend a human body.
He immediately retrieved a spider silk thread and threaded it into the coiled wire needle. Using the coiled wire needle technique, he pierced the young man's body to mend his damaged heart.
Spider silk thread was a special kind of suture that was extremely expensive.
Lin Jin didn't know about other places, but in Maple City, Lin Jin was probably the only one who could pull off such a miraculous technique.
The coiled wire needle was extremely fast. In less than ten minutes, Lin Jin had taken out the needle. However, this process consumed a lot of spirit energy and he was sweating profusely.
Glancing at the fox demon, Lin Jin flicked his finger and used the needle technique to treat his wounds.
Obviously, he was using the treatment method from the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
Since this fox demon was willing to risk his life to save someone, it probably wasn't a monster like the black snake. Hence, Lin Jin decided to save him as much as he could.
The fox demon was clearly stunned when his acupuncture point was pierced by the needle. Then, he reacted quickly and cooperated with Lin Jin. At the same time, the flesh under the fox demon's abdomen began to fall off, slowly separating from the young man below.
The young man was only able to survive because the fox demon used its own heart to help his blood flow. Otherwise, the young man would have been long dead.
Taking out a pill, Lin Jin tossed it to the fox demon. It leaped up and swallowed the pill.
One man and one beast, they had a tacit understanding.
As a Rank 3 monster, its regenerative abilities were extremely strong. It could now move freely again. It glanced at the man on the ground, then at Lin Jin. Then, in a flash, it went up to the roof, and in another flash, it was gone.
It left.
Lin Jin was curious but if the fox demon wanted to leave, he couldn't stop it.
He first checked on the young man. His life was no longer in danger. Speaking of which, both Lin Jin and the fox demon were the young man's saviors. Previously, the fox demon shared a blood bond with him to extend his life. Then, Lin Jin used the pulse-seeking technique to mend the young man's heart.
Outside, no one had actually left, including the farmers who rescued the young man. They were also discussing in private what that fox demon was.
Suddenly, Lin Jin pushed open the door and called them in.
When they entered, they were dumbfounded. There were signs of stitching on the young man's chest but judging by his breathing, he should be fine.
"Appraiser Lin, where … where's the fox that injured him?" someone couldn't resist asking.
Lin Jin shook his head. "It's dead. He's fine now. Send him to the clinic."
Although the farmers were suspicious, they didn't ask any questions.
